We must remember how in business may be found a service for Christ. 2. We may learn not to think too much of daily work, and set too great a price on it. 3. We shall seek to give of the fruits of our trading to Christ. 4. The true servant of Christ will be willing to give up, not only of the fruits of daily work, but daily work itself for Christ. (T. Gasquoine, B. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me.
